Is this count as Halibut fishing or Halibut Hunting? 😹We hooked up on a nice 120# pacific halibut last season while jigging up rockfish in the shallows on a salmon rod and 30# mono. She made two runs and scrapped bottom both times we decided to cut right to the chase and handle business next time it surfaced. GAF permits are available for 2025!
